Proofreading is a 3-step process that begins with skimming through the article followed by hounding the article for mistakes, and finishes again by scanning through the article.

Step 1: Skim through

This is the very first step. In this step the goal is to search for the obvious spelling and punctuation mistakes. You should also fix the grammatical errors that are obvious. Do not spend too much time here. This step is done merely to remove the obvious mistakes. In many cases, this is all you will need to do.

Step 2: Hound for the error

The next step is to read every bit word, every sentence, and every paragraph. Search for mistakes that you missed in the first step. You may have to fix some sentences as well, or have to rearrange some. Find the errors and fix them. Make a note of the errors, if you are fixing other’s work. The writer may want to get his original ones back.

Step 3: Skim again

This is the third step in the process of proofreading. In this step, your goal is to check the cohesiveness of the article, which might have changed because of the editing you have done to the article. Also search for the errors that you might have missed in the step one and two.

Once you are through with these steps, you will get an article that will be cohesive and free of errors. You can also consider reading your article backward — from finish to beginning. It will expose those errors that you overlook, as a habit — particularly in your articles.

Spell check, spell check, spell check.  There’s a reason word processors come with spell checkers, take advantage of clicking that  button.  Spellchecker won’t catch everything, but it will catch some mistakes that you may have missed.  But remember to double check spellchecker, because computer spell check programs don’t factor context into it’s suggestions.  Spell check could tell you to change a word, when in fact you’ve committed no spelling error.  Which is where the next step comes in handy.

Any word you’re unsure about, don’t hesitate to look up in a dictionary.  The internet has a wealth of free dictionaries online, take full advantage.  Double check a word to make sure your usage is correct, and that your spelling is proper.

Now read through your article.  This step is most useful when you read your article aloud.  That will give you a good idea of how somebody else will be reading your article.  Check sentence structure, as well as paragraph length and make sure both flow.  If you find a sentence getting muddy, tidy it up a little as you go.  Then give a quick re-read after you’ve made your changes to ensure the article flows effectively.

From there do one last check for errors.  Usually it helps to go through your article backwards.  When you read normally there are still grammatical errors that you could miss.  By reading backwards your brain can’t make sense of a sentence, so individual words and punctuation marks will stand out more.  This way you can double check your spelling, and punctuation, and make sure all the untidy bits are properly corrected.

Well, always reread anything you’ve written a few times, to ensure that your sentences flow naturally, and to clear up any grammatical mistakes you may have made.  Good policy also suggests reading your pieces aloud, as it’s a fantastic method to double check how your writing sounds on the whole.  Reading aloud will give you the opportunity to make sure that everything flows properly, and that all sentences sound complete.

Another widely used, and remarkably effective tactic, is to read in reverse.  This is helpful for weeding out those cursed grammatical errors that you may still miss despite completing two or three rereads.  When you read your piece in reverse it eliminates the brain’s tendency to remember what you’ve written, which can cause you to skip over mistakes without even knowing that you have.

When restructuring a sentence never add more words to the sentence than were originally there, always cut the excess.  The problem with most first drafts of any piece of writing, is that they are much longer than necessarily needed.  Focus on condensing your concepts into as few sentences and paragraphs as possible, that way you can form a short concise work that will appeal to a broader audience.

These are just a few quick editing tips, there are many, many more concepts when you really get more in depth into what the editing process can do for a piece of writing.  But follow those guidelines and you’ll find yourself well on your way to becoming a better, and more complete writer.
